Obama: New national monument is ‘an issue of social justice’ - The Washington Post: SAN DIMAS -- Standing under hot and hazy skies with the San Gabriel Mountains behind him, President Obama set aside 346,000 acres of U.S. forestland as a national monument Friday.
Calling it “an issue of social justice,” Obama said that “for a lot of urban families, this is their only big outdoor space.”
“The story of the San Gabriel Mountains is, in many way, the story of America,” the president said. “It’s the story of communities exploring the Great West.”
